I use Facebook, twitter and whatsapp.  I share pictures, videos; for whatsapp I share pictures, videos,  and can make video calls. I like social media.

which language learning skills do you think can benefit most from using social media?

I think that language learning skills that can benefit most from using social media are: reading and writing, because we can improve our vocabulary, grammar and comprehension.

Some of the cultural and language learning benefits of using social media are: the students
learn about other countries, its language, customs, interesting information, communicate with other persons and so on.

Some of the cultural and language learning pitfalls of using social media are: they use the information in a bad way, don't have time to study, because they using social media to play  games and could be sexual abuse using this kind of technology.

My Classroom Technology In my school, we have technology classroom, but it is out of service, because the air conditioner is broken, and we can not use it. In the technology classroom there are computers and smart board. The professors use different technologies for them learn and teach in a better way. The students in my school can use the technology classroom, but it is closed for the moment. The students in my school can not bring technology, because the school and the educational system do not allow them.
